Transboundary Cooperation for Snow Leaopard and Ecosystem Conservation
Terminal Evaluation of the UNDP-GEF-Snow Leaopard Trust (SLT) Project : Transboundary Cooperation for Snow Leaopard and Ecosystem Conservation. This TE was performed by an Evaluator - Mr. Jean-Joseph Bellamy - on behalf of UNDP. Atlas PID 00102964.
The project was designed to address these barriers. Its aim is to strengthen transboundary cooperation for the conservation of snow leopards and their mountain ecosystems in the four Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan). The objective of the project is "to strengthen transboundary conservation of snow leopard ecosystems and landscapes to ensure stability of global snow leopard population by addressing drivers of existing and emerging threats with special focus on Central Asia." It is to be achieved through the delivery of three expected outcomes and 9 outputs:
- • Outcome 1: Key stakeholders have sufficient knowledge, capacity and tools for effective transboundary conservation of snow leopard ecosystems;
- • Outcome 2: Global monitoring framework developed for snow leopard ecosystems, demonstrated and adopted by range countries;
- • Outcome 3: Effective and sustainable transboundary conservation mechanism for snow leopard ecosystems.
Output 2.4.1 Gender-responsive legal and regulatory frameworks, policies and institutions strengthened, and solutions adopted, to address conservation, sustainable use and equitable benefit sharing of natural resources, in line with international conventions and national legislation
Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
15.1 By 2020, ensure the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services, in particular forests, wetlands, mountains and drylands, in line with obligations under international agreements
1: Others
2: Sustainable
